Fasting And Lust Control
Term fasting or
shaum taken from the Arabic language bermaknaimsak or refrain from
something. Fasting is a form of human devotion to God Almighty which is
based on human self-awareness will be in accordance with the will of God the
man who decorated "attitude and the nature of God". While
Ramadan is also derived from the Arabic with the meaning of intense heat or
burning. The term of Ramadan in the fasting of Ramadan, it is understood
the meaning of burning or melting of sin, so that by implication means that
after the fasting of Ramadan with faith and earnest his sins will be erased.
As one of the
pillars of Islam, Ramadan fasting should not be abandoned by the Muslims who
mukallaf. But in Islam there is a broad-tolerance as evidence for
adherents of Islam. So in some circumstances, a person can leave the
Muslims or the Muslim fast of Ramadan, as people who are ill or those unable to
fast while traveling or for pregnant women or nursing their children, if they
are fasting feared would endanger her condition, then all the belong to
this class are allowed to leave the fast with the provisions need to replace it
on another day. Furthermore for those elderly who are no longer able to
fast also allowed not to fast with the terms of ransom by giving food to the
poor faqir.
It should be a
concern, in the month of Ramadan is full of blessing than the recommended duty
of fasting, many other religious ritual series of activities that are
encouraged to do and get a double reward. for example, multiply the
reading al-Qur'an and dhikr, tarawih prayer in congregation, bersadaqoh,
i'tikaf in the mosque and pay zakat fitrah as purification.
Fasting and
Self-Control
Based on the information already recorded in the Qur'an that the
ultimate goal of fasting is to make the righteous man, according to the word of
God mentioned in the Qur'an: "O ye who believe, fasting obligatory upon
you as required above thosethose before you so that you may become pious
"[QS. 2: 183]. Takwa as theological value can be understood with the
seriousness of self to obey and submit to Allah SWT. But the value of
piety in fasting will be meaningful when man consciously essential to make fast
to the primacy of self-control towards a more purposeful life, so that people
achieve intimacy and closeness with the Creator of the highest degree of
humanity before God.
When fasting,
Muslims are required to control himself against fa'ali instincts (eating,
drinking and having sex). Eating, drinking or having sex is a primary need
when able to be controlled so that other needs will be easily
controlled. In addition, those who are fasting should avoid themselves
from actions that reduce the value of fasting as well maintained mouth of the
words that are not necessary, waking her from seeing the forbidden, spared his
ears from hearing the useless, and all members of the body is also
trying not to do things forbidden and excessive capacity needs him.Even
when humans are capable of in hatinyapun fasting is not required to recall
something from memory other than Allah. It was recommended as a moment to
train the human soul to his personal, his way of thinking and his behavior got
the license eligibility before God Almighty that the activity goes according to
His will.
Islam is not
justified in an attempt to eliminate fa'ali human instinct, but Islam teaches
its followers to always control it. One way to control it is by
fasting. Fa'ali instinct when without crashing beyond the control will
cause harm to the man himself, such as eating or drinking that exceeds the
physical needs, then it will cause a person lethargic and decrease its
activity. So also with excessive sex will cause a person experiences
cravings which cause hiperseks or other sexual deviations. Can be said
fasting is a conscious effort to establish a private man who is dominated by
the divine element in controlling instincts fa'alinya.
Because fasting
seeks to educate and teach people to control themselves, although food and
drinks served before him, food and beverages is lawful, and healthy, but not
right for a specified time (and breaking dawn) he should not eat it. So
also in the opposite sex who are legally married, according to his religious
beliefs, he should not gauli when he was fasting. He should be able to
control syahwatnya it, so in control of the dominance of the bestiality and
filled with the divine attributes.
Ramadan Fasting
Wisdom
Thus man was
educated in the month of Ramadan fasting is to feed appetites, especially that
which is dominated by the instinct fa'alinya. Fasting can be a positive
influence in human self-control efforts by aligning themselves all forms of
activities in accordance with the 'attitude and the nature of God' to be a
creature of God is perfect. When fasting westernized with a field with
good soil, all Muslims are given the opportunity to farm, for Muslims who
actively farming in that field then later he will get a harvest of many Muslims
and vice versa for the negligent and he only received the results of his field
of grass wild. Finally, we hope that the month of Ramadan which is
full of grace can be used to invoke the forgiveness of sins and errors caused
by the values of
the animal in man.
